With glam and vigor the Chainsmokers and Drew Love from “They”, as a duo, announced their forthcoming single ‘Somebody’ that was released to the digital library on April 20th this year. Drew Taggart the vocalist for Chainsmokers and Love share the feelings that went into the production of this collaborative single as “a story of temptation through time”. The video features time-lapsed water color paintings that sets this song apart in uniqueness.

Demonstrating the anatomy of a hit, the Chainsmokers’ “Somebody” uses a combination of modular synth and pitched-up vocals throughout the song featuring mournful keys and atmospheric synths. Drew Taggart and Alex Pall offer a tutorial on how the song was made giving you a insight into the arduous composition process. The vocal was originally composed for a different song; which makes for why there was a change in the pitch of the song. “Somebody” is a tropical song made with several musical elements including pop, R&B and EDM. The lyrics are focused on rejecting material objects that are meant to define you at the expense of changing your true self despite the pressure from everyone around you. “Somebody” currently peaks at No. 8 on theHot Dance/Electronic Songs chartand has been played more than 36 million times on Spotify within a month of its release.

The Chainsmokers are DJ and production duo with American origins, consisting of Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart. They made their breakthrough with their 2014 song “#Selfie”, which peaked in the top twenty ranking in several countries. They debuted with Bouquet, which was released in October 2015.

Their single “Roses” ranked in the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, followed by “Don’t Let Me Down” which became the first top 5 single of the duo. The song also won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. “Closer”elevated the Chainsmokers to a new height, after it became their first single to appear number 1 on the chart. They’ve also bagged two American Music Awards[8] and five iHeartRadio Music Awards.

The Chainsmokers have certainly created a lot of smoke and hype with their exotic music and the combining of different genres and elements but they’ve also managed to add meaning to the the traditional term ‘chainsmoker’ that refers to a person who smokes in succession, with their unique releasesone after the other.
